THE PITTSBURG. DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1&851 II TRUSTS IS THE LEAD. Distillers and Cotton Oil Brought For "ward and Advanced. SUGAR IS LESS PROMINENT. Fair Activity in Frie, Atchison. St Fanl and Bock Island. EAILKOAD BONDS FIRM AND ACTIVE Kew Xork, July 26. The stock market to-day displayed a little more animation during the forenoon, and while this is re garded as only an incident in the dullness now prevalent, the strength in a few stocks points to the formation of pools here and there in the list whose operations may serve as the nucleus of a more extended upward movement in the market when the time is ripe for it. The industrials now occupy most of attention, and to-day while Sugar was by no means neglected it was less prom inent than during the last few days, and Distillers and the Cotton Oil stocks were successively brought forward and advanced. This prominence of the industrials, those which are well-known to be subjects of manipulation, is looked upon with some disfavor by many who look for a more sub stantial movement in the market, but in the past material gains in the railroad list have been inaugurated by the lifting of the industrials. The railroad list for some time responded to the buying and considerable activity was developed in Erie, Atchison, liock Island and St. Paul, but the movements in the stocks mentioned were no more than the final operations in the movements of the last lew. days, and they soon died away, the whole "railroad list sinking back into dullness, with almost utter stagnation in values. A sharp and sudden rise in Lake Shore on the exe cution of n. tew bnviug orders was followed by the same collapse, ana the low-priced and inactive shares ceueraUy were uarren of feature to the close, which was 'very dull and stagnant at concessions. Railroad bonds aisplaved the effects of some new demand and there was not only more animation but many of tne inactive issues scored handsome advances over their last previous s.ilcs, but the speculative is sues wfere quiet and made few movements 01 intetest. The transactions reache'l $1,206, 000, but tbere was no special animation in anvthing. r Government bonds were dull and steady. Close of the list: IT. S. 4i. reg 116 U. b. 2s, coup 116 V.

Watson 4 Gibson to Oakley 4 Co: "It is surprising that this market should hold as 'well as it nas and does when we are swelter ing with this heat and humidity. It seems a very Inappropriate season to inaugurate a null market, but, as we have so freely pointed out, the situation and conditions are lavorabie. There is only one serious trouble and that is the labor matters at Pittsburg; but as a well imormed man fiom that city said to ns to-dav. that will be settled and Before long. It is difficult to state just bow and when, or if-wage-payers or workmen will win, but a, settlement will come. There seems to be an increasing fol lowing of the leaders in the "upward move ment nnd they in turn will become more aggressive as supporters come in. Among the Industrial stocks Cotton Oil common has come ptoniinently to the front to-day,and with a large trading it has scored a handsome advance. We have from time to time called attention to the merits of this property and its management.and expressed an opinion that it would sell considerably higher. It is now verifying our indorse ment, and why not, when industrial stocks are now all the fashion, and both Investors and speculators indulging their fancy! It lias had but a Comparatively small advance, "when w e look at Sugarand Cordage and con sider the possibilities of Cotton Oil product. There was also good buying of Sugar to-day, and it, too, scored quite an advance. It has been well sustained ana 110 is still Ireely talked for it."

The corn market was again the leader in activity among the cere als, and the better business was at higher prices. It advanced c at the first Jump, but only Jc.was added to the former prices. To a considerable extent wheat was gov erned by the advance.in corn. It opened, however, c higher than it closed and was barely 1-lBc over yesterday's resting price at the end of the session. September opened at 78c, sold at 78Jc. went up to 78c and closed at "SJc. Receipts here were 380 cars and in the Northwest 341 cars.

The principal tr.tding In futures was in bar reled pork. Lard and ribs were compara tively netlected. The feature of the busi ness done in pork as the buying of it lor Januarv by the Cudahy Packing Company, andafurthor widening of the difference be tween that month and September was the consequence, and the advance in' pork was 7c and in lard and ribs 2Jc each.

MOST STOCKS HOLD THEIR OWN. Allegheny Heating Company Fcores tbe Only Significant Change. STANDARD PLATE GLASS AT AUCTION Tuesday, July 2(5. Another midsummery market Excessive torridity the chief restricting factor of the moment, with the industrial troubles still figuring as the underlying depressing influ ence. "It is not to be expected," said one of the brokers, "that there will be much business while the weather oontinues so warm as to practically prohibit outdoor operations, or while such a feeling of illy suppressed uneasiness prevails in financial and general business circles in consequence of the unrest in the labor ranks. So far as local securities are concerned, however, the situation is inherently strong. Bargains seem to be fairly numerous, also, and when the restrictive factors mentioned lose some of their influence, it is fair to suppose that a good degree of activity will set in, accom panied by an upward tendency in most val ues. There is a good argument in favor of the belitf in a higher range in the fact that while prices are holding up steadily there are few stocks pressing on the market In times of dullness stocks are usually freely offered, especially If they have no founda tion of merit, but during the present dull spell there has oaen a marked lack of pres sure brought to bear against anything on the list, the declines that have occurred be ing mainly the result of the sales to realize accrued profits. I be lieve the market to be in a position favorable to a general advance, and I would not be surprised If the expected activity would materialize shortly niter the turn of the month. A vast amount of money is awaiting investment and it will seek it befoie long." oOnly three sales occurred on 'Change one f P., A. & M. Traction at the first call, one ot Philadelphia Company at tne second, subsequently declared void, and one of Pleasant Valley at the third. Neither of these items displayed any positive tendency, though P., A. A M., perhaps, was a trifle soft. Pleasant Valley, also, was not quite up to yesterday's quotations. Be sides tne sales mentioned little noteworthy occurred. With exception of P. V. and P.. A. Si M. street railway shares about held their own; Luster was steady at 1111; Union Switch and Signal closed at 16?i asked: Airbrake was auoted at 123125, and Underground Cablo was offered at 75, a de cline of i in the asking price. In the nat ural gas group Alloglieny Heating Com pany presented the featui e, being wanted at 75. against offers to sell at 77. Tbe recent resumption of dividends by tbe com pany and Its generally improved con dition are responsible for the ad vanced quotations. The last previous public bid was 65. Tbere has been con siderable quiet inquliy of late for the stock,and we were reported one sale recently made at something better than 75. People's Natural Gas was 18 bid. People's Flpeage 12 bid, Philadelphia Company 1819and Wheeling Gas was offered at 18ji. The figures made on the other items were pro nounced "chestnuts." Standard riato Glass. At the Chamber of Commerce this after noon 653 shares of Standard Plate Glass were sold at auction in lots of 250, 200, 125, 50 and 28 shares at (50 per share. The at tendance upon the sale was light and there was only one bidder, Mr. Hugh S. Craig, the attorney, who took each lot as it was offeied at the price named. Tbe supposition was that Mr. Craig repre sented lenders with whom the stock bad been hypothecated. Prior to the sale Auc tioneer Bailey read a letter from E. S. Quimby, assignee of William E. Schmertz and William E. Schmertz & Co., in which it was stated that of the stock offered by the Third National Bank 100 shares should re vert to the owner, as the loan for which they were accepted as collateral had been paid and title conld not be given to anyone who might purchase them. Nevertheless everything went as stated. In conversation about Standard Plate Glass one of tne brokers present at the sale said that the stock sold was the last that would be thrown on the market "The company's condition is vastly improved," said he; "tney are making more and better glass than ever before, and papers have already been filed in an application for the discharge of the receiver. The stock sold cheap, as there were sales on the quiet some weeks ago as high as 61." Gas Companies' Operations Afield. The leading natural gas companies, while in good shape as to supplies of gas, are prod ding the earth unite actively in search of fresh supplies. Down tbe river the Ohio Val ley Gas Company is putting down a well on the Shields farm, near the mouth of Little Sewickley creek. The Brldgewater Company is putting down one on tho Neely farm in the same vicinity, and another on tbe Wilson farm just back of Leetsdale. xne x'eopie's xtaturni lias company is en gaged in putting two new holes in its prop erty in the Pinhook region, and the Manu facturers' and the Equitable are a1o mak ing one or two fresh ventures, tbe former on the Pinhook anticlinal and the latter not far from the McDonald oil field. The Phila phia Comimnv is drilling seven wells on its tract of land in the MUltown district, near Verona. Tney are on tho anticlinal line ex tending to the northeast of Verona.

There is no particular scarcity of houses in Pittsburg at the present time, but it should not be inferred from this thjt tbe city is overbuilt Houses are intended to meet the wants of all elasses of people. Tbe large majority of buyers are of limited means. Tbey want cheap and medium priced houses, costing from $2,000 to $5,000. Tbe demand for these keeps pace with the supply. On tbe other hand, the market for high-priced properties, being more 10 stricted, is easily satisfied. From this it will be seen that while this one may be scarce the other may be in oversupply. This is about the situation in Pittsburg. While owners or low-priced houses have little trouble to sell or rent, pretentious structures, suob as adorn the fashionable avenues of the East End, are slow or sale. Bulldeis should bear this m mind in making plans for fnture operations. The natural and architectural beauties of tbe East End must be seen to be appreciated at their full worth. Such a display of wealth and taste as represented by splendid resi dences and grounds cannot be duplicated in America. Here aro the homes of many of the leading citizens of Pittsburg. There are no ruins ln this part of the city. Everything is new. Along tho handsome avenues, at frequeiitintervnls, piles of build ing material denote that tbe march of im provement has not been stayed. Fine nomes, many or them of stone, are going up in all directions. Ten years ago this district was little Hotter than a "howling wilderness." Bapld transit has wrought tho change. Between Pittsburg and East Liberty there is a large amount of vacant land, varying in dimensions from ordinary building lots to large tracts. This is a puzzle to some peo ple. With such a demand lor residence and business sites as is known to exist, they can not account lor these open spaces. The ex planation is simple. This ground is owned for the most part by estates, and is so hedged uround by legal restrictions that it cannot bo put on the market until somebody dies or comes of nge. Owners would gladly sell, but their hands are tied. In some instances owners are waiting for a rise, and ln others they want the property for their own use, and will improve it as soon as their circum stances will permit Several tracts released by death within a year or two have been sold off and bnilt up.

Ttjesdat, July 2& Notwithstanding this is the time ot the year when a light volume of business is ex pected in wholesale mercantile lines, and despite the labor tronbles and excessively warm weatUer, the clearing house figures continue to indicate that the movement is larger than usual at this season. There is no special animation observable in any line, but outside of the grain trade no positive dull ness is reported, and in some branches of trade, notably provisions, groceries and garden stuff, business is reported active. It is reported on excellent authority that wi .. the exception of last year, the growing crop or spring wheat promises to beat all records, and that harvesting will be general in Southern Minnesota and South Dakota this week. Crop prospects being bright helps to weaken prices for tho cereals, and wheat continues to soil at low nrices. Corn, though "cheaper than a year ago. sells around 60c lor .no. a. jrrovisions are greatly atrengtuenea by the reduced stocks and active shipping demand, as well as by the high prices for hogs. Reports from tho northwestern range country iro so far favorable concerning con dition of tbe cattle grazed in that section. Abundant rains have created a luxuriant growth of grass, and as this is the necessary element ln produoing fat cattle there is every reason to believe that the cattlo mar keted trom Montana and Wyoming this sea son will be fully up to the standard in point of fat and finish as compared with last year. Texas cattle that were run north early ln the season have filled out well, and some of them will be ready lor market next week. A late spring has put the range backward, and so shipments will be about 20 to 80 days late compared with last year. It has been con servatively estimated that the supply from the Northwest will he about 30 per cent short of the nsual crop. This shortage may have a favoiable effect in bringing about a better range of prices if it is true that tbe supply of natives and Texaus will bo curtailed. West ern ranchmen enjoyed a prosperous season last year, and it looks now as if their good fortune may continue, but it is a little pre mature to prognosticate. Certain exceptionally fine quality gallon canned apples, of which sales were made last week at $2 252 50 per dozen, are now held at $2 60 at Inctory and $2 65 in New York. At under $2 25 tew, if any, really standard goods can be obtained. Gallon canned tomatoes at $2 25 per dozen have been about all cleaned up, and $2 50 Is now named as a popular quotation. The new crop California prunes are quoted 914c for the four sizes, forward shipment. and it is stated that sales have been mado for Chicago upon that basis. A number of spot parcels or standard three-pound tomatoes were disponed of ln the East at 92c last week, and most holders are now very firm at 95c for ordinary brands. Sales of dried California lima beans were reported nt as high as $2 10 per bushel on tbe spot In New York. There Is nor, however, the anxiety at present to buy that prevailed a week ago. The best Baltimore bargains in canned peaches at. the moment aie $185 for 3-lb standard yellow, $1 70 for 3-B, seconds and $1 15 for 3-lb pie. Most holders ask about 510c on those prices.
